Indeed.

  subversion        Build-Depends: libaprutil1-dev
  libaprutil1-dev   Depends: libdb4.8-dev
  libdb*-dev        Conflicts: libdb*-dev

Some time ago I suggested that apr-util should drop this -dev
dependency, and I believe Stefan Fritsch agreed to do so in his next
upload.  Then Subversion will be free to _not_ track the DB version of
apr-util.  At that time, I will have a look at whether Subversion can
be migrated to DB 5.x.

I have to control the version more explicitly.  For one thing, I have
some "Suggests: dbX.Y-util" that would be pointless if they did not
match the dependency.  More importantly, in the past, it has been
important to explicitly test and document the procedure for upgrading
user data between DB formats.
